Firstly, your charge that egg cartons are not indestructible. Your first claim under that topic is that egg cartons are susceptible to acids. Please recall that most materials are. For example, if I have a metal table and spill an acid on it, the acid will damage the table, as will a base. Your second claim involved fire. Combustion is quite damaging to many materials. If I have a glass table, the heat will destroy the table. If I have a wooden table, it will burn alongside the rest of the room. Thus, the claim that you expect egg cartons to be impervious to damage is quite unrealistic, as well as an idiotic notion that ANY table will hold up to all threats.

Your second claim is that we have no need for plants. Not so, sir. Not so. Firstly, regarding oxygen generation. These work in a few ways. Firstly, you can strip the oxygen from the CO2. However, this leaves you with byproducts. If you are using a chemical converter, you have a mess of carbon left over. Also, if you are at all concerned about global warming or safety in general, these reactions are typically exothermic, which would release untold amounts of heat into the lower atmosphere. Other methods of CO2 reduction and oxygen production would include capturing and sequestering the CO2, a nasty prospect. Not only is this a risky procedure as the CO2 could come pouring out into some poor sap's house and asphyxiate his family, but it is also obscenely expensive. As far as other methods to produce oxygen, you could use electrolysis of water. However, this is an extremely inefficient process in most cases. Furthermore, all of these methods involve appreciable amounts of energy. This energy would be generated overwhelmingly by fossil fuel and nuclear plants. Both of these fuels are finite.

Also on the side of plants are our ecosystems. As humans, we depend on a variety of sources for our energy. At the bottom of most food chains are plants. Thus, without plants, we all starve. So you, Mr. Grube, with your GENIUS PLAN to save us from this table, have damned the human race, nay, all life on this planet. Such idiocy I have never seen, not even from a [group I am not allowed to discriminate against]. Next time, think before you speak.

And to all of you who claim this war against these scum is senseless and disruptive, consider the following:

Today, every inhabitant of this blog must contemplate the day when this blog may no longer be habitable. Every man, woman and child comments under an idiotic sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident, or miscalculation, or by madness. The [group I am not longer allowed to discriminate against] must be abolished before they abolish us.

DISCLAIMER: This comment is in no way intended to convey hatred to the [group I am not allowed to discriminate against] who make good comments. Wherever you may be.

Good observation, and really no reason I can see that it could not have been designed that way. At the very least, the glass top should have been WAY bigger to stay in proportion to those mammoth legs.
